Advantages of Work Experience Programs
Work experience provides students a chance to learn about specific jobs and their related career opportunities. Students become informed about specific choices.
Students make valuable career contacts that assist with planning his/her career or gaining insight entry into a chosen field of employment in the future. Work Experience supervisors provide an evaluation/reference that can be added to a students’ resume. There is also a possibility that the work experience site will offer a student future paid employment.
For a more information about Career Programs, ACE-IT and SSA programs, please visit our Burnaby District’s website.
Any students who have applied to or are interested in an Ace-It Program, please let Ms. Gillam know so your name can be forwarded to the organizer.
